Great use of scraps & your finished quilt turned out lovely!

That's is stunning and so many pieces.

Wow, just love this. My first bed sized quilt was Bonnie's mystery from 2009 - Carolina Christmas. Tomorrow, a new, king size bed will arrive here - meaning none of my quilts are big enough! Talkin' Turkey is close, but I will need a new Christmas quilt. Did you adjust the size? Not many patterns for king size quilts. Yours is gorgeous. Cannot imagine quilting that on DSM! I hope you'll post a picture when it's finished.

Sorry for the confusion....this quilt is twin sized, and I quilted it and machine washed it to get it soft and crinkly. It would be easy to add extra rows and make it king size, and Bonnie’s pattern has a different border. My yet-to-be-quilted king size is a different pattern, and I will most likely crosshatch quilt it because the piecing is fairly detailed.
This is Heritage, be Sewn Wild Oak.

https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif Congratulations on creating this from your scraps! I think it would take me a lifetime to finish a quilt with so many tiny pieces. My comfort zone is baby and throw size quilts because I like to quilt my own quilts! I admire you for quilting this King size quilt on your DSM. Will you divide the quilt into 4 sections to quilt it, in order to keep the bulk of the quilt to the left of the needle?

Beautiful Christmas quilt and a wonderful pattern. Great finish.

Wonderful result. Would love to see it after it's quoted, too.

Both quilts are just stunning. I admire anyone who does a Bonnie Hunter and finishes it. She has marvelous patterns, but oh, so many pieces. I did my first one this year: Grassy Creek. I can't imagine the struggle of quilting on a DSM unless it is a cross hatch. I'm getting ready to Stitch in the Ditch on a 72" x 72" on my DSM prior to doing the FMQing on my Tiara, and I'm not looking forward to the tugging. Kuddos to you.
